This subject is not by any means new one.
In fact it has been used by local editors as
far back as authentic history extends. 1t Is
stock thing for autumn use aud it is said
that Western firm has made good thing
by stereotyping this idea in varied phrase for
the use of local men, and that staff of long

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschse's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effeetual
cure Of Coughs, Colds and the seyerest
LING Troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause OF the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
use when these diseases make their ap-
pearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. It is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

When the nominations of a party are
equivalent to IN election there will be
warm contests for the party nomina
tions, and such contests do not endan-
ger the harmony of the party. The
Democratic party of Louisiana is yirtu-
ally without opposition, and it is only
natural that there should be earnest
battles within the party ranks for the
honors the party has to bestow and over
questions of party policy; but these
family differences will not disrupt the
party or endanger itssuccess at the pools.
When the party assemblies in conven-
ton and expresses it's will all diferen-
ence will be forgotten and solid front
presented to the enemy.-Homer Jour

ARE THE JUDICIAL OFFICES TO
BE PROSTITUTED?
PiCayuue.


A vacancy recently occurred in the
iudgeship of the Thirteenth Judicial
District of this State by the death of
Judge Hudspeth. The constitution re-
quires that the vacancy should be filled
through an election by the people. The
| Governor in this case, as he has done
in others, without any Authority of law
we know of, appointed judge "ad IN
teriao What that sort of a judge ls
does not seem to be defined by our
laws. 1t usually happens that the
Governor would like to see the appoin-
tee cad interim" elected by the people,
and perhaps indicates that he will use
his official power TO accomplish that re-
suit. The eud is not always reached,
however, because the people are very
apt to resent that sort of interference,
particularly relative to an office that
should be always free from any ring
manipulation or political jugglery.
In the case of this vacancy in the
Thirteenth judicial District, his Excel
Iency, as usual, made an lad interim
appointment, and in discussing the
case we say we have no objection to the
gentlemen he appointed He also COM
piled, in his way, with law which was
apparently designed to carry out the
constitutional provision, and remand
the choice of judge at once to the
people. Here it is, and its mandate is
clear:

The Colfax Chronicle, commenting
upon the Telegraph's animadversions
respecting the collection of school funds
from the State by Mr. Rutland, says
In the summer of 1885 the school
board of Grant parish made an agree
ment with w. K. Rutland to allow
him onehalf of whatever money he
collected that was due the parish from
the State interest on 10th sections for
back years. Under this agreement he
paid the parish SO 80 on the 2Sth day
of October, 1885, and about half that
amount at an other time, we believe.
IT we understand the matter Alright
this was balance that had wrongfnlly
been kept back by the State officials,
and of which Mr.. Rutland had in some
way become aware. We think the
Telegraph is wrong in supposing that
Rutland gets anything at all for inter
est collected for years subsequent to
1884. However, as the Telegraph justly
observes, it has come to q pretty pass in
Louisiana when the people have to pay
lawyers to make the officials perform
their duties. We had occasion to re-
mark this fact two years ago, but the
administration organs sat down on us
so hard, and we received so little en-
couragement from other quarters, that
we were glad to hide our diminished
head in silence. Better look sharp, Mr..
Telegraph.
